Goodbyes

Finnick leaves at eight o'clock in the morning so I get up and go the Victor's Village where I know Finnick will be. Most of the houses are occupied and Finnick's is the closest to the rest of District 4. I run in case it's too late. I run all the way to Finnick's house where I find him standing outside with all his cases. He's looking as though he's about to cry. "Annie?" he says happily, "You came."

"Of course I did." I reply, "We're friends, aren't we?"

"Yeah. It's just we've only known each other for about a week." He says.

"That doesn't stop anything. We can still be friends." I say smiling and looking into his eyes. I've become obsessed with his eyes.

"No. I suppose it doesn't." he says smiling back. I push a piece of my curly brown hair behind my ear.

"I'm going to miss you." I say, hoping that he won't have to go but knowing that he will. He loves his family too much to let them be killed.

"So will I. Annie, I know we've just met and this will probably sound crazy and you're only twelve and I've killed loads of people but I… I…" he says stuttering at the last bit.

"FINNICK!" someone shouts, "THE TRAIN IS ABOUT TO LEAVE!"

Finnick nervously bits his lips. He says, "Well, bye Annie."

He hugs me tightly before dragging along his cases and leaving me. A tear fills my eyes as I see him leave. I may never see him again. I wonder what he was about to say before he got called away.
